Aedh Wishes for the Clothes of Heaven

been quite a bit, i stumbled over this poem and i tot to share it wit u!

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, 
Enwrought with golden and silver light, 
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths 
Of night and light and the half light, 
I would spread the cloths under your feet: 
But I, being poor, have only my dreams; 
I have spread my dreams under your feet; 
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

by William Butler Yeats
